Whose Slice is Bigger?
Salim and Rukaiya bought aam paapad [dried mango slice] from a shop.
Their pieces looked like these.
Both could not make out whose piece was bigger. Suggest some ways to find out whose piece is bigger. Discuss.
A friend of Salim and Rukaija showed one way, using small squares.
The length of piece A is 6 cm.
So, 6 squares of side 1 cm can be arranged along its length.
The width of piece A is 5 cm.
So, 5 squares can be arranged along with their width.
Page No. 162 Solutions
Altogether how many squares can be arranged on it? _________
Ans. The length of piece A is 6 cm. The width of piece A is 5 cm. So, the number of squares of side 1 cm can be altogether arranged on it = (6 × 5) = 30 squares.
So, the area of piece A = _________ square cm.
Ans. So the area of piece A = 30 square cm.
In the same way, find the area of piece B.
Ans. In the same manner, 3 squares of side 1 cm can be arranged along its width and 11 squares of side 1 cm can be arranged along its length. So, the total number of squares = (3 × 11) = 33 squares.
The area of piece B = 33 square cm.
Who had the bigger piece? How much bigger?
Ans Rukaiya had the bigger piece because the area of her piece was bigger. It is bigger by 3 square cm than piece A.

a. Adnan plans to tile his kitchen floor with green square tiles. Each side of the tile is 10 cm. His kitchen is 220 cm in length and 180 cm wide. How many tiles will he need?
Sol. Length of the kitchen = 220 cm.
Width of the kitchen = 180 cm
Area of kitchen = L x B = (220 × 180) square cm = 39600 square cm.
Length of a tile = 10 cm
Width of a tile = 10 cm
Area of a tile = (10 × 10) square cm = 100 square cm.
Number of tiles = Area of the floor/Area of a tile.
= 39600/100 = 396 tiles.
b. The fencing of a square garden is 20 m in length. How long is one side of the garden?
Ans. The length of fencing of a square park = 20m
The length of fencing = Perimeter of the park.
The perimeter of a park = 4 × side.
4 × side = 20 m
Side = 20/4 = 5 m.
c. A thin wire 20 cm long is formed into a rectangle. If the width of this rectangle is 4 cm, what is its length?
Ans. Length of wire = 20 cm.
The perimeter of the rectangle = Length of wire = 20 cm.
Let the length of the side of the rectangle = x cm
Width of rectangle = 4 cm.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + width) = 2 (x + 4)
20 cm = 2x + 8
Or 2x + 8 = 20
2x = 20 – 8
2x = 12
x = 12/2 = 6
Length of the rectangle = 6 cm.

d. A square carom board has a perimeter of 320 cm. How much is its area?
Ans. Given perimeter of the carrom board is 320 cm
We know that the perimeter of the square = 4 × side
Side of a carrom board = 320/4 = 80 cm.
Area of a square = side × side.
= 80 × 80 = 6400 square cm.
e. How many tiles like the triangle given here will fit in the white design?
Ans. Area of the design = 1 full square + 4 triangles.
(2 Triangles = 1 full square).
So, the area of the design = 3 full squares = 3 square cm.
Number of tiles = Area of design/Area of 1 tile
= 3 × 2/1 = 6.
f. Ambreen, Ulfat, Mudasir and Kabir made greeting cards. Complete the table for their cards:
Ans. i) Length of Ambreen’s card = 10 cm.
Width of Ambreen’s card = 8 cm.
Perimeter of Ambreen’s card = 2 (length + width)
= 2 (10 + 8) = 36 cm.
Area of Ambreen’s card = Length × Width.
= 10 × 8 square cm = 80 square cm.
ii) Length of Mudasir’s card = 11 cm.
Width of Mudasir’s card = ?
Perimeter of Mudasir’s card = 44 cm.
Also, Perimeter = 2 (L + W)
44 = 2 (11 + W)
44 = 22 + 2W
22 + 2W = 44
2W = 44 – 22
2W = 22
W = 22/2 = 11 cm.
Area of Mudasir’s card = Length × Width.
= 11 cm × 11 cm = 121 square cm.
iii) Width of Ulfat’s card = 8 cm.
The area of Ulfat’s card = 80 square cm.
Also, area = Length × Width.
80 square cm = Length × 8 cm
Length = 80/8 cm = 10 cm.
The perimeter of Ulfat’s card = 10 cm × 8 cm = 80 square cm.
iv) Perimeter of Kabir’s greeting card = 40 cm.
The area of Kabir’s greeting card = 100 square cm.
We know that Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)
= 40 cm = 2 (Length + Width)
= 40/2 cm = Length + Width
= 20 cm – Length = Width………. (i)
In the second case.
Area of card = 100 square cm.
Area = Length × Width
100 = Length × 20 cm – Length
100 = 20Length – Length2
20Length – Length2 = 100
Length2 – 20Length + 100 = 0
Length2 – 10Length – 10 Length – 100 = 0
Length (Length – 10) – 10 (Length – 10) = 0
Length (Length – 10) = 10 (Length – 10)
Length = 10 cm
Width = 20 – 10 = 10 cm.
My Belt is the Longest!
Take a thick paper sheet of length 14 cm and width 9 cm. You can also use an old postcard.
What is its area? What is its perimeter?
Ans. Length of the sheet of paper = 14 cm
Width of the sheet of paper = 9 cm.
Area of sheet of paper = 14 cm × 9 cm = 126 square cm.
The perimeter of the sheet of paper = 2 (Length + Breadth)
= 2(14 + 9) cm = 2 (23) = 46 cm.
Now cut strips of equal sizes out of it. Using tape join the strips, end to end, to make a belt.
Ans. Cut 9 strips of 1 cm width and 14 cm length from this thick sheet of paper and join them end to end with tape to make a belt.
How long is your belt? _____
Ans. Length of the belt 14 × 9 cm = 126 cm.
What is its perimeter ____
Ans. The perimeter of the belt will be 2(126 + 1) = 2 × 127 = 254 cm.
Discuss
- Why did some of your friends get longer belts than others?
Ans. Some of my friends get longer belts than others as the width of their belts is shorter than that of the other’s belts.
- Is the area of your belt the same as the area of the postcard? Why or why not?
Ans. Yes, the area of the belt is the same as the area of the postcard because it is made out of the postcard without any wastage.
- What will you do to get a longer belt next time?
Ans. I will get a longer belt next time by ensuring that the width of my belt should be shorter than other’s belts.

King’s Story:
The king was very happy with the carpenters. Balbir and Kuldeep. They had made a very big and beautiful bed for him. So as gifts the king wanted to give some land to Balbir, and some gold to Kuldeep.
Balbir was happy. He took 100 meters of wire and tried to make different rectangles.
He made a 10 m × 40 m rectangle.
Its area was 400 square meters.
So, he next made a 30 m × 20 m rectangle.
What is its area? Is it more than the first rectangle?
Ans. The area of this rectangle = 30 m 20 m = 600 square m.
Yes, its area is more than that of the first rectangle.
What other rectangle can he make with 100 metres of wire? Discuss which of these rectangles will have the biggest area.
Many other rectangles can be made with 100 metres of wire. For Example,
5m 45m having an area of 225 square metres.
15m 35m having an area of 525 square metres.
20 m 30m having an area of 600 square metres.
25m 25 m having an area of 625 square metres.
The rectangle having length = breadth i.e. a square will have the biggest area.
Balbir’s wife asked him to make a circle with a wire. She knew it had an area of 800 square meters.
Page No. 173 – 174 Solutions
Why did Balbir not choose a rectangle? Explain.
Ans. Because his wife knew that a circle made with this wire would have an area of 800 square metres.
So, Kuldeep also tried many different ways to make a boundary for 800 square metres of land.
He made rectangles A, B, and C of different sizes. Find out the length of the boundary of each. How much gold wire will he get for these rectangles?
(a) 40 m x 20 m
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 2 (40 + 20) = 2 x 60 = 120 m
(b) 80 m x 10 m
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 2(80 + 10) = 2 x 90 = 180 m
(c) 800 m x 1 m
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 2 (800 + 1) = 2 x 801 = 1602 m
But then Kuldeep made an even longer rectangle See how long!
(d) 8000 m x 0.1 m
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 2(8000 + 0.1) = 2 × 8000.1 = 16000.2 m
- Now do you understand why the king fainted!!
Ans. The king fainted because he could not arrange so much gold.
- Can you make a rectangle with a still longer boundary? I made a rectangle 1 cm wide and 80000 m long. Imagine how long that boundary will be!!! With that much gold wire, I can become a king!
Ans. Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
2(80000 m + 1 cm)
= 2(80000 m + 1/100 m)
= 2(80000 m + 0.01 m)
= 2 × 80000.01 m = 16000.02 m

Now Lets Us Do These
- Find the area of the rectangle with sides 30 cm and 50 cm.
Ans. Area of the rectangle = Length × Width
= 50 cm × 30 cm = 1500 sq. cm.
- If the area of a square ‘A’ is 1600 sq. cm and if the area of a square B is 40 sq. cm then find the number of squares of type B obtained from square A.
Ans. Number of squares of type B = Area of square A/Area of square B
= 1600/40 = 40
- If the area of a rectangle is 250 sq. cm and the length of a rectangle is 25 cm then find the width of the rectangle.
Ans. Width of the rectangle = Area of rectangle/Length of the rectangle
= 250/25 = 10 cm.
- If the dimensions of a rectangle are 20 cm and 10 cm, then find the perimeter of a rectangle.
Ans. Length of the rectangle = 20 cm.
Breadth of the rectangle = 10 cm.
The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
= 2(20 + 10) = 2 × 30 = 60 cm.
- If the perimeter of a rectangle is 60 cm and it is 10 cm wide. Find its length.
Ans. Length of a rectangle = ?
The width of the rectangle = 10 cm.
The perimeter of the rectangle = 60 cm.
So, 2(Length + Breadth) = 60 cm
Length + Breadth = 30 cm.
So, Length + 10 cm = 30 cm.
Length = 30 cm – 10 cm = 20 cm.
- From the figure find the area of region B.
Ans. Length of region B = 40 – (4 cm + 4 cm) = 32 cm
Width of region B = 30 – (2 cm + 2 cm) = 26 cm.
Area of the region B = 32 cm × 26 cm = 832 sq. cm.
- In a rectangular plot of land:
A: Plot of land
B: Wetland
Find the area of B when the area of A = 200 Sq. mts.
Ans. Area of whole rectangle = Length × Width
= 40 cm × 10 cm
= 400 sq. cm
Area of A = 200 sq. cm.
So, Area of B = 400 sq. cm – 200 sq.cm = 200 sq. cm
